HAFDIS HULD – Home CD

Product Description

Hafdis Huld is an Icelandic singer with a growing international reputation thanks to her breathtaking voice and unique songs full of vivid imagery and catchy hooks. Born in Reykjavik, Iceland, Hafdis has been heavily involved with music since the age of 15. After starting her career with two world tours as a member of iconic Icelandic eletro-collective Gus Gus, Hafdis has since been collaborating with numerous musicians, and has released several solo albums of her own quirky take on pop and folk music.

Hafdis Huld returns this spring with her first original album in four years and her third solo album of original songs, “Home.” Appropriately titled, the entrancing new album was written and recorded entirely in her picturesque wooden house located in the Icelandic mountains near Reykjavik. “Home” features beautifully stripped down production with a simplicity and directness that helps to showcase Hafdis’s pure and assured vocals to perfection. Written with an array of highly respected international songwriters, “Home” is a superlative collection of Hafdis’s trademark songwriting skills that her worldwide fans have come to expect with deceptively simple songs with a hidden darker undertone.

Queen Bee

our flag is his coat
as he marches
down the middle of the road
we slowly walk behind him
as we try to understand this game
towards the sun
this fight has only just begun
there ain’t many things
he wouldn’t do for this place

somewhere in between the trees
where the grass is green
lives a man with his queen
somewhere in between the trees
in a world that no one sees
he’s growing his own army of bees

moving too fast
for the magic to last
on his watch the world
moves a different pace
we all have space
his anchor went down
kept his boots on the ground
unaffected by the race taking place
all around

somewhere in between the trees
where the grass is green
lives a man with his queen
somewhere in between the trees
in a world that no one sees
he’s growing his own army of bees

he came from far away
outside everyday
and his rooster thinks it’s morning all the time
tobacco in the air
whenever he is near
and I’m not sure if the dog is his or mine

somewhere in between the trees
where the grass is green
lives a man with his queen
somewhere in between the trees
in a world that no one sees
he’s growing his own army of bees

Never Needed You

The air feels heavy I can’t breath in here
a long long time ago liked having you near me
but now I’m big and sometimes even strong
I’m strong enough to see that you were wrong
I never needed you, needed you with me

the echo of your voice still in my head
I try my best forgetting what you said
I’ve heard so many truer things since then
from braver and better men
I never needed you, needed you with me

it’s time to shake the shadows of you from over my head
these shoulders aren’t strong enough for two
it’s time to shake the shadows of you from over my head
so many things I wish I could undo

you had this power everyone could see
they didn’t know you stole it all from me
I’ve seen you try to get by on your own
haunted by the chances you have blown
‘cause you needed me needed me with you

it’s time to shake the shadows of you from over my head
these shoulders aren’t strong enough for two
it’s time to shake the shadows of you from over my head
so many things I wish I could undo
